Guest guest Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 All, I will do more research into silverlist.com and the other resources listed to attempt to determine what happened. However, my very personal and very real experience with CS has not been positive. On top of heavy metal poisoning, I am now highly allergic to CS and I get terrible hives when I take it, even the small particle store bought stuff. Granted, CS is an amazing resource, but just like everything, there is nothing that works 100% of the time for 100% of the people - enter your CS journey with caution and respect.Thanks,Brad On Mon, Sep 8, 2008 at 8:47 AM, sotainstruments <russ@...> wrote: Hi Brad, Please eleborate on where you have gotten your information. > > > Just bought a Silver Pulser Lite for $50.(Sota still has some left) > > and made 1st batch of CS.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Most ridiculous statement I've ever read. Been studying and using homemade CS for better than a decade with great success. Here's a good source of CS info: http://silver-lightning.com/research.html and http://silver-lightning.com/theory.html Chuck Why is it called tourist season if we can't shoot at them?

Sure, it is great to spray on your armpits or use it to spray down the counters, but the particles are too big for your body to really be able to process them. You will notice a very sore chin after just a few days on homemade CS. This is because the body stores excess silver in the face which is real close to the brain.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Welcome Colleen - Good news on your husband's ringworm issue. As for the patch test, that is not a good indicator of body sufficiency. You need to do the iodine loading test (info on where to order in the files of the group). That is the only way to determine how much your entire body has stored. The patch test has too many factors that change - evaporation, sweating, density of iodine painted on, location painted, clothes rubbing off. It's an old form of determining but not a good one. Every gland and mucosal lining in your body needs iodine. The skin does not get to those glands so you cannot be sure if they are getting enough. Also the receptors on these cells are many times blocked by halogens. You can't tell by patch testing how they are doing - that requires 2 iodine loading tests 3-6 mos apart after 50 mgs of Iodine supplementation. New Member > Greetings to everyone!

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hi! I am new here, too. Dd was diagnosed at the beginning of Sept. with a 54 degree left thoracic curve. So far we've met with 2 surgeons--one ready to operate by the end of the year; the other is more conservative and says we can recheck in 6 months--surgery could take place between 1 and 5 years--some difference I'd say! Dd is considered an " adult " patient as she has pretty much finished growing. She has no pain. Also her curve is a bit higher than usual. The second doc says that her internal organs should not be affected as she gets older as could otherwise happen with such a significant curve. I'm here to learn as much as I can as well. The one thing I have learned is don't feel rushed. Do your research. As long as I'm here saying hello, does anyone have any suggestions as to where to start research? Books, internet? Sites to suggest? I've gone to the boards run by the National Scoliosis Foundation and they have been a big help connecting me with others (also people who are familiar with some of the docs in my area). TIA! n new member >I just wanted to say hello I joined this group because my nephew who is > 15 has scoliosis he was diagnois 2 weeks ago and he had his first > appointment with the ortho dr. he has a 46% curve and they r talking > about fuison surgery i would like people opion who has had this surgrey > good and bad opion are helpfull for us i would appericate it very much > > > ------------------------------------ > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 If she's not in pain and the curve isn't progressing, I would not have the surgery. In my opinion, it's a surgery that's best not done if not absolutely necessary. I didn't experience pain until I was in my 30's. And I waited until I was almost 50 to have the surgery. I'd go with the 2nd Dr. and wait to see if the curve gets worse. No need to put her through it otherwise. It's a lifetime committement that doesn't always work out for the best. new member >I just wanted to say hello I joined this group because my nephew who is > 15 has scoliosis he was diagnois 2 weeks ago and he had his first > appointment with the ortho dr. he has a 46% curve and they r talking > about fuison surgery i would like people opion who has had this surgrey > good and bad opion are helpfull for us i would appericate it very much > > > ------------ --------- --------- ------ > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Welcome and n! My advice is do what you feel comfortable with. If you don't feel comfortable going through with surgery now, then hold off until you do more research and feel better about your decision. The internet is by far the best research tool, I think. Books tend to be outdated on this subject, at least what I've found, and I worked in a library for 10 years until recently. I am a scoliosis patient who had a spinal fusion 13 years ago. And I will say that I am glad I did it. I had a double " S " curve the bottom curve being over 80 degrees. They corrected that curve to 46 degrees. Where I am today. My internal organs were being affected and I had no choice in the matter. It was a very difficult surgery and it took a lot of rehab but I wouldn't have changed a thing. It was definitely the best thing for me at the time. I will say that not all patients, but most, will never completely shed their scoliosis status. Once a patient, always a patient. Even now, 13 years later, I am having issues with the L4-S1 area, which isn't fused. It just comes with the territory. Now, the surgery that I need for that is ridiculous and dangerous and I'm not going to do it. But, it's okay and you learn to live with your disability. If you'd like details about the surgery, feel free to ask. But again, if you don't feel comfortable yet, it sounds like their curves aren't horribly bad and you have some time but I would definitely get it checked frequently. Hope this helps, > > I just wanted to say hello I joined this group because my nephew who is > 15 has scoliosis he was diagnois 2 weeks ago and he had his first > appointment with the ortho dr. he has a 46% curve and they r talking > about fuison surgery i would like people opion who has had this surgrey > good and bad opion are helpfull for us i would appericate it very much > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hi, Before my surgery in 2002, I went to note number 1 in this very forum and read all the way to the latest ones. There is a TON of info and I didn't need to search anywhere else. I think this form us just the best research place there is. lj From: adorote1 <adorote1@...> Subject: Re: new member Scoliosis Treatment Date: Monday, October 6, 2008, 7:34 PM Hi!

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Thanks for the welcome, . Sorry I haven't written sooner, but we've been hoppin' with these Dr. visits--two in one week. We're hoping to have some down time for a bit. Monday we were in Baltimore to see Dr. Gelb. Friday we went to see Dr. Lauerman at town Hospital in Washington, DC. We are sold with Dr. Lauerman. Dd trusts him and so do I--something in his mannerisms (maybe not so puffed up as the others we met) and thoroughness. He also seemed to be interested in hearing what we had to say and dealing with us as an individual case. He was *very* thorough--even asking about my pregnancy with dd. She was high risk. I had been on several medications to hold the pregnancy--and years ago it was an experimental treatment as I have an autoimmune disorder which caused miscarriages. Also, he took my concerns about her medication allergies seriously. However, there may be a complication. He saw a spot on the MRI that he is concerned about. He said he will have a neurosurgeon look at it--she may have chiari malformation--he was looking at how atypical her curve was. I'd rather him be overly cautious (which he admitted he is). So he is going to check this out with a neurosurgeon colleague of his. He said he would let us know if we needed to be concerned about that. That, of course, would change the whole ball game--having to take care of that before scoliosis surgery. Right now we are scheduled to see him again in Feb. He will continue to monitor dd's progress--if her curve hasn't really moved, he may wait and observe her again in the fall. If it does move, she will have to have the surgery--possibly next summer. I'm glad to know that there is such support out there. I hate to think what would've happened if we didn't have internet and we would've gone with the first surgeon's recommendation. Am anxious to learn more--anyone who has had or had a child with chiari malformation--what that entails. I'm probably jumping the gun, but would like to learn as much as I can. n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 My dh and I are thinking the same thing about waiting. We did find a surgeon that we feel comfortable with after interviewing 3. We decided to go with the 3rd doctor as he was more thorough. He agreed with the second about waiting to see--said at this point it's more cosmetic than anything else although he's going to check with a neurosurgeon as he said there's a suspicious spot that could be a chiari. n Re: new member > If she's not in pain and the curve isn't progressing, I would not have the > surgery.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 -I had my surgery in 1967 and have had two Harrington Rods all that time. I work full time in an office, wear heels, have had two children. I would not have turned back at all as I feel great. Do not let all the stories you will hear scare you--sort through them. I have seen pictures of some of the rods that people have--when my rods were inserted they have hooks on them that are fixed to the spine--my spine cannot twist or curve anywhere. The only thing I am limited to is somersaults, touching my toes and riding horses. The later does not bother me too much as I don't really care for horses. Like I said before read all the emails but make the decision on what is best for the person. Make sure you really know the surgeon and ask questions. My doctor was from Toronto Ontario and he was the best. -- In Scoliosis Treatment , " karenharrison71 " <karenharrison71@...> wrote: > > I just wanted to say hello I joined this group because my nephew who is > 15 has scoliosis he was diagnois 2 weeks ago and he had his first > appointment with the ortho dr. he has a 46% curve and they r talking > about fuison surgery i would like people opion who has had this surgrey > good and bad opion are helpfull for us i would appericate it very much > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a hypo diagnosis, but a long thyroid history. I do think my recent fall in health is related to the menopause. My Dr also doesn't know what to do with me! She bases her lack of diagnosis on blood results only! Grrr! The more I read, the more I realise all of our hormones interlink and interact. Have you done any reading up as yet, tpa has lots of very valuable info in the files section. Also, there are a lot of associated conditions that can run alongside hypothyroidism and mirror or exacerbate the symptoms. I found starting with the files here very helpful in developing my understanding of the wider picture. Good luck, xx > > Hi > I have just joined after seeing an article about the group in a mag.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hi P Welcome to our forum and I hope you get the support you need here. Can you let me know what magazine TPA-UK was mentioned please. Was it 'She'? Have you had a full thyroid function panel done? If not, ask your GP to test your Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), your Free T4, Free T3, and if possible, he could test to see if you have antibodies to your thyroid. Also, ask him to test your ferritin level (stored iron) and a test to see whether you have low vitamin D (either of the last two will give your thyroid problems in stopping them doing what they are supposed to do). Do you have any members of your family with a thyroid problem or an autoimmune disease. Go to our website www.tpa-uk.org.uk and click on 'Hypothyroidism' in the Menu, and in the drop down Menu, click on 'Symptoms and Signs' and check all of yours against those. Take your basal temperature each morning before you get out of bed (if possible with a mercury thermometer). If it is 98.6 - that is normal. If it is 97.8 (and it could be much less), this is a sign you have a low metabolism and could be showing you are hypothyroid. You do not mention feeling cold - is this because you don't feel cold. This is usually a symptom of hypothyroidism because of the low metabolism, but some people feel the opposite, strangely. If you have a low basal temperature for say, 5 mornings and you have many of the symptoms and signs, ask your GP if he will refer you to a thyroid specialist (emphasise the 'thyroid' rather than an endocrinologist who specialises in diabetes - because many diabetic specialists know little of the thyroid problems. You need to read, read and then read more to get a thorough understanding of how the thyroid works, the problems that are associated with under active thyroid and what you can do to get yourself well again. If you have any questions, just shout, and somebody will be along to hopefully help you find some answers. Luv - Sheila Hi I have just joined after seeing an article about the group in a mag. I am 54 and have had an underactive thyroid for about 20 years. Since having a hysterectomy 3 years ago I have been suffering with a variety of symptoms such as bad headaches, tiredness, and lack of energy in general. I have tried HRT, acupuncture, changing my diet and my doctor is at a loss to know what to do with me! I think going through an abrupt menopause has sent my thyroid and any other hormones into freefall. If anyone has any advice or has had similar experiences, I would love to hear from you.
